Cowboys hate seeing ‘dang Giants’ reach Super Bowl again

Cowboys linebacker Bradie James said it all in a tweet immediately after the Giants reached the Super Bowl with a 20-17 overtime win over the 49ers Sunday night.

“Them dang Giants!”

For the second-straight season, the Super Bowl will be tough to watch for Cowboys fans and Jerry Jones.

Last season, they had to grit their teeth while watching the Packers and the Steelers – two longtime Cowboys rivals – play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy at Cowboys Stadium.

Now, they’ve got the hated Giants trying to win their second Super Bowl in five years.

Eli Manning and the Giants face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis. It’s a rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl that saw the Giants upset the undefeated Patriots

The Cowboys’ hatred of the Giants runs deep for several reasons.

For starters, Brandon Jacobs and Justin Tuck love to talk trash to the Cowboys. Then there was this season’s series: The Giants swept the Cowboys, winning on a blocked field goal in the first meeting and then claiming the second game 31-14 just weeks later to win the NFC East title and advance to the playoffs. And Manning is the anti-Tony Romo. He seemingly makes every big play in clutch situations and wins all the big games.

Finally, the Giants are mentally tough, bouncing back from adversity to turn it on when they have to.
